Leeds United have enjoyed an encouraging summer so far, but Daniel Farke and the club’s recruitment team know there is still plenty of work to do before the new Premier League campaign gets underway.
The Whites got the ball rolling by signing Harry Wilson on a free transfer before following that up with a £34m deal for Sassuolo centre-back Tarik Muharemovic.
They then pulled off their biggest move of the window by landing James Trafford from Manchester City in a club-record £45m transfer, with the England international expected to become Leeds’ long-term first-choice goalkeeper.
Even so, Leeds’ business is far from over. The club remain active in the market and are still looking to strengthen several key positions before the transfer window closes.

Club revive interest in Leeds United forward
Leeds United need to sell a few players before the end of the window, as there is still deadwood in the squad that needs to be shifted in the coming weeks.
They want to bring in a striker, but Joel Piroe has yet to leave the club. Leeds are also open to offers for Wilfried Gnonto, who is now surplus to requirements.
However, Leeds desperately need to shift Largie Ramazani, who has been left out of the club’s pre-season plans, but has yet to secure a move.
Valencia held talks with Leeds earlier in the summer after his loan spell in Spain last season, but the Spanish club refused to meet the Whites’ financial demands.
However, Los Che still need two wingers before the window closes, and according to Sport, they are considering rekindling their interest in Ramazani.
Carlos Corberan remains an admirer of the Leeds winger, and the Valencia boss is keen to sign the Belgian as he would not need time to settle at the Mestalla.
Any deal would need Leeds to lower their financial demands as their current financial expectations are not feasible for Valencia.
Leeds may have to take a hit on Largie Ramazani
Largie Ramazani is not part of Daniel Farke’s plans, and he made it clear when the Belgian was left out of the club’s pre-season tour.
The Leeds boss didn’t trust him enough in the Championship and will not suddenly change his mind about the winger in the coming weeks.
They have also signed Harry Wilson and are looking for one more left-side forward, meaning Ramazani is nowhere near the club’s plans going forward.
Leeds need to offload him before the end of the window, which means they hold little leverage in negotiations. Valencia and other clubs are aware the club will lower their demands closer to deadline day.
It seems Leeds may have to take a financial hit or agree to another loan if they want to offload Ramazani in the coming weeks.
Why not offer Betis a swap deal Largie for the S American midfielder Doelhi who Leeds are intrested in and scored an amazing 30 yard goal against Arsenal
I was thinking the same for Gnonto! AC Milan are long time admirers of him and we are interested in Musah. Give Leeds a really interesting alternative midfield 3 that when combined with Stach it Ampodu.
